Altermagnetism and Unconventional Magnetic Orders in Quantum Materials

Altermagnetism has emerged as a truly interdisciplinary topic due to its many connections with interesting problems in condensed matter physics. Indeed, the various communities working on this topic include spintronics, strongly correlated electronic systems, topological matter, superconductivity, frustrated magnetism, and quantum criticality. Moreover, the many investigations on this problem have encompassed a broad range of techniques and methods involving computational physics (e.g., first-principles, dynamical mean-field theory), theoretical physics (e.g., microscopic models, phenomenology, spin-group theory), and experimental physics (e.g., spectroscopy, anomalous Hall effect, x-ray scattering).
